If Boston holds off the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs hold off Milwaukee this week, then I will have correctly predicted five of Major League Baseball’s six division winners this year.
I didn’t pick Washington to win the National League East but I had it finishing second, so I wasn’t too far off there.
I also predicted in preseason that Chris Sale would win the American League Cy Young Award and it looks as if he or Corey Kluber will win it.
